Lauren asked Jack if anyone would join the headliners during their performance on the Pyramid Stage.

Fans were quick to take to X (formerly known as Twitter) to say that Little Simz’s surprise cameo took Coldplay’s set “to a whole new level.”
Earlier in the day, BBC presenters Lauren Laverne and Jack Saunder hinted that Stormzy will make a surprise performance during the 2024 Glastonbury Festival.
Jack replied: ‘I just heard there might be some special guests with Little Simz… I’m allowed to give a hint, someone said the weather should be nice this weekend but it might get a little stormy…’
Stormzy was the first black British solo artist to headline the music event in 2019.
The surprise appearance comes after Stormzy was spotted at the festival with his girlfriend and Love Island presenter Maya Jama.
The couple was seen putting on a display of love during a D-Block Europe set on Friday.
The 29-year-old TV presenter and the singer were seen dancing and laughing as they stood next to the barriers of the Otro Escenario.
The ITV presenter and her boyfriend were later pictured holding hands as they partied in the countryside at Worthy Farm.
Stormzy appeared to be living his best life as he snapped photos of Maya with a disposable camera.
They partied with their recently dumped Love Islander pal Omar Nyame.
Maya showed off her figure in a tiny black bandeau top, which she paired with a printed jacket and matching skirt.

She let her brunette locks flow naturally down her back and wore black Hunter wellies as part of her outfit.
Meanwhile, Stormzy looked stylish in a beige and red jacket and bucket hat combo with a pair of white heart-shaped sunglasses.
The couple reunited in early 2023. They had previously dated for four years before splitting, with the rapper publicly stating that he has “never loved anyone like I have loved her.”
Earlier in the day, Maya joined in on the festival celebrations, enjoying a can as she traveled to the iconic spot with her friends.
The TV personality had enjoyed a last-minute blow-dry and Aqua Tight facial with Shane Cooper to transform her complexion during four days of non-stop partying at the festival.
She indulged in pink gin and lemonade as she traveled to the festival on Thursday night – but showed she wouldn’t put up with the hardships of a campsite by posting a video from her luxurious accommodation at Babbington House.
For more than 200,000 Glastonbury attendees it is a frantic race to Somerset to find a square meter of space in the crowded festival campsites and pitch their tents for the weekend.
But for the rich and famous, the experience is very different as they enjoy the pools and spa at the five-star Babbington House hotel, 30 minutes from the Worthy Farm site.
The hideaway is a popular haunt for celebrities including Holly Willoughby, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy and the Gallagher brothers have stayed there in previous years.
